    Grade The Offseason 2019: Yzerman's Opening Moves

    mackel replied to ChristopherReevesLegs's topic in General

    Complaining about moves that we're made when we don't even know if we were in conversations is rose colored hindsight.

    I was this close... but I decided not to shatter dreams today. Homer

    Zadina is AHL bound... I'm betting he plays with Veleno for the majority of the season, call-ups notwithstanding.

    Has anyone seen anything regarding Kronner? Especially those of you who follow Swedish media.

    2020 Offseason Rebuild Thread

    mackel replied to Dabura's topic in General

    He's the best player on that team and drives their offence much more so than Matthews he should get the same contract or better, certainly not less.

    I liked that he had a realistic view of Zadina... no kool-aid, no rose colored glasses, just the facts mam, just the facts.

    HAY, I said, I said HAY.... Little Caesars Pizza is a balanced meal!! This makes a lot of sense when you think back over the last decade or so and the rash of similar injuries we've had... groins, ligaments, etc

    I've traveled extensively in Europe... I've noticed a lot of locals with "attitude" who assume I'm American... the tone changes (noticeably for the better) once they realize I'm Canadian.

    What's he supposed to say??? "I misjudged the market and had to sign the best contract I could get... unfortunately it's in a hockey backwater for 2 years and 1 million less than I wanted"

    Why a center... AA was fine in that role.

    This would have been a much better addition for us than a retread in Fil... 2 years, cheap, tradeable, young enough to potentially mesh with our core, has some upside and is a veteran. But we added a 35 year old clone of a player we already have.

    Totally agree... I even had a few "man tears"

    I grew up in th 90s and I didn't know what most of that consumerist plastic junk was. Oh and "Zagina"
  19. mackel
    Those contracts you mentioned... why were they signed??? I think any fan who looked at those players objectively thought those were excessive/bad contracts. How did an experienced management team miss the mark so badly, so often.

    He'll be back after that contract... no worry.
  22. mackel
    Absolutely... these signings are horrific. Can't blame Yzerman for trades that aren't made because he doesn't fully control those moves. But these contracts are awful... and demoralizing to fans who recognize we have a derth of our own mediocre place holder garbage players... who we should be trying to trade or force out we should NOT be adding fuel to the dumpster fire.

    Fillpula Blackmon a 2 year deal...

    I think the new regime might be more open to freeing a roster spot by demotion than the former regime. For example if Erricsson was told you're going to be in GR this year... the roster spot is open, you still have the cap hit but we have lots of cap... and who knows he may rage quit like a 12 year old playing fortnite.

    Get a clue... I'm not Trolling. I'm trying to tell you to temper your expectations. You asked and I answered.... not sure why you're so emotional over my point of view.
